山頂は穏やかな夏日。快適な山歩きを

Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort began the day under clear skies. The summit temperature is 14.3℃, feeling like 13.4℃, with light winds at 1.75m/s. Ground conditions will remain dry throughout the day, with no snow cover or muddy sections on the trails and walking paths within the resort. Visibility is excellent, exceeding 16km, offering expansive views.

There is a 3℃ temperature difference between the 1086m summit and the base, with the summit not expected to exceed 17℃ during the day. Despite Sapporo Kokusai's proximity to the city, the summit area experiences cooler, more alpine conditions. Those traversing the longest 3,600m long run course should be mindful of the significant change in perceived temperature due to elevation. A quick-drying base layer and a light fleece or long-sleeve shirt for a mid-layer are recommended. Carry a lightweight, windproof shell for protection during breaks or at exposed viewpoints, even with light winds.

The risk of thunderstorms is low, and winds are expected to remain light throughout the day, posing no strong wind hazard. While the risk of hypothermia is low during active daytime hours, temperatures will gradually drop towards evening. Anyone planning evening activities must carry adequate warm clothing. Crampons or chain spikes are not required. Although the probability of precipitation increases in the afternoon, no rainfall is forecast, so rain gear is primarily for wind and insulation.

The sky will gradually become cloudy in the afternoon, but no precipitation is expected. Temperatures will fall to around 10℃ from evening into night, with winds becoming even lighter. Those active during these hours must have sufficient cold weather gear.
